This 2:45, two hour and forty five minute video is a hands on
step-by-step treatment of building a trans. brake / 8 inch converter style
racing 350 Turbo transmission. You can use this video to build a performance
street or stock 350 turbo trans.
Phillip " Flip " Williams, a hard core racing
transmission builder takes us through tear down and identification of all parts
and components.
Then step-by-step through the complete build-rp process.
Aftermarket parts and components including the 8 inch racing converter used are
from the J.W. Performance
Transmission company out of Rockledge Florida. They are the leading manufacturer
of aftermarket racing products and are used world wide.
Mr. Williams shows how to build all drums / pistons / clutches and steels up
close so you see every seal, snap ring and o-ring installed with ease and
clarity.
Flip takes us
through the front pump, forward clutch drum, high gear clutch drum, thrust
washers, needle bearings, planetary, ring gears, drive shell, center support,
output rear clutch drum / clutch pack assembly, spring retainers, all pistons,
seals, o-rings and every part and component there is in a 350 turbo
transmission.
Williams also shows holes to drill and plug, shift balls to leave
out for more solid shift and many other tips to give you a better performance or
stock transmission. Every part of the build up process is show with many close
up shoots so you can see every detailed part of building high performance or
stock 350 turbo. Nothing is left out.
Then Williams takes us with him to the
dyno and we watch as he dyno's the transmission. He talks about the reverse
shift pattern the new J.W. transbrake valve body has with park, reverse,
neutral, 1st gear, 2nd gear and 3rd gear shift pattern. Williams explains why
the shift pattern has been changed.
This video is hands down the very best
treatment of the 350 Turbo transmission ever produced.
